How mmentors started their logo design journey

Summary

Need a logo that includes an image congruent with the name of our company, Top Dog Trading. So an image of a dog would be good. However the logo should also reflect the fact that we're involved in the financial markets (stock market).

Company name

Top Dog Trading

What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

You can visit our web site at http://www.topdogtrading.com if you'd like. We teach people how to trade stocks, forex, futures, etc. We're open to very literal, or more abstract designs.

Wants

- Our color scheme includes green, black, while and yellow.
- Image of a dog, but not just of any dog, but the "top dog."
- Some reference to the financial markets
- Convey success.

Don't want

- It should not be cutesy or cartoonish. - Needs to have a degree of seriousness because people are making a financial decision with us and we want to be taken seriously.
